In this hands-on activity, students build a paper model to explore how CRISPR-Cas9 is used to edit genes.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated physiological and genetic adaptations in the Bajau, a group of people who traditionally do freediving.

This activity explores an image of tumor cells invading muscle tissue, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about cancer, mutations, and cell division.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study on how social status affects the expression of genes involved in immune system processes.

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study assessing if the microbiota from a mother affects the immune systems of the developing offspring.

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study that investigated the role of p53 in cell cycle regulation.

This demonstration models the first step of the HIV life cycle: the binding of HIV envelope proteins to receptors on human helper T cells.

This activity explores images of chalk formations and coccolithophores, which serve as phenomena for learning about the interactions between biological and geological processes.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated whether there is a correlation between a population’s diet and copies of a certain gene.

This activity explores an image of early embryonic cells, which serves as a phenomenon for learning about cell division and development.

These two hands-on activities engage students in exploring the genetic basis of cancer using cards and posters.

This activity reinforces concepts presented in the short film The Making of a Theory.
